This week has turned out to be a rather busy one.  Wednesday Mark and I decided to head to Ikea in Belfast as we wanted to get some things for our new place (which we’ve still not moved into but do have keys for) and I needed to get some fabric for my class.  We took the bus from our bus station to Belfast’s Europa Bus Station, then hopped off and walked a few blocks to where you catch the city buses.  It was a lovely day and we had a good bit of fun being in the city, even if the bus did take about 2.5 times longer than being in a car.  And it wasn’t cheap.  We packed a bit of lunch and ate while we were waiting for the city bus.

We had a fun first trip to Ikea.  Mark didn’t realize there were 2 floors to experience, so that made for a bit of a shock.  But all in all, it was a good time.  Thanks, Ikea.

Yesterday we went back to Belfast, this time with Campbell and Kristy.  They kept telling us about St. George’s Market and what a fun place it is.  So they took us.  It was a great experience, I have to admit.  There were lots of vendors selling fun food and all kinds of crafts.  I bought some linen woven by Herman and his wife.  Can’t wait to come up with something great to make out of it!

That’s all for this post.  I’ll do my best to keep them coming!
